Your club. Your ideas. Your future.
Applications for this year's Youth Voice Committee have closed. If you missed it and still want to be involved, say so anyway, because people move on and places come up.
Email John anyway →
Why we are doing this
Young people who have grown up at Summertown Stars understand this club in a way the adults running it simply cannot. We want that understanding in the room when decisions get made, not as an afterthought but as a standing part of how the club is run.
What the Committee will do
- Meet monthly, with a standing link to the club's leadership
- Bring ideas straight to the people who can act on them, a real voice rather than a suggestion box
- Work on projects that matter to members, backed by the club with training and a budget to bring ideas to life
What you get out of it
- Governance training, useful on a UCAS form or a CV
- A real understanding of how a football club is run, from the committee room to the touchline
- The possibility of working alongside Oxfordshire FA and, for those who want to take it further, a route to the national FA Youth Voice Committee
How to apply
Email John Kelly, who leads this for the Committee, at john@summertownstars.org, and tell him why you would like to be involved and what matters to you at the club. A few sentences is plenty. There is no form and nothing to fill in.
If you are not sure whether it is for you, email him anyway and ask. That is a perfectly good first message.
Parents and carers: there are other ways to help too, and none of them need you to have played.
